How many Radieese syringes (more or less) are needed for a full forehead augmentation? I just need a ballpark answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to make a determination without at least a photo. I encourage you to make an appointment with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with extensive experience in injectable fillers. Radiesse comes in a larger syringe than other fillers, 1.5 ml versus 1.0 ml. As such, one or two syringes usually do the job nicely. After a comprehensive assessment, this doctor should be able to create a personalized treatment plan that includes the best product for your needs and goals, as well as the amount that would be appropriate for you. 

Hi David, I do daily injections on the forehead of Bellafill, Juvederm, and Belotero. They do very well to sculpt the forehead. I suggest seeing only a well-trained, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist to determine the best solution for you; following an in-person evaluation, you can get the answers you need in regards to number of syringes, cost, ideal combination treatments, etc. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi David. We wonder who is suggested that you use Radiesse for the forehead.  Radiesse is a thick, "foundational" product that is typically used in tick tissue areas like the cheeks.  If used in the forehead, it would likely appear very lumpy.  In general using fillers in the forehead is not easy to make look good and when you combine that fact with the thick consistency of Radiesse, we think you are in for a disappointment as Radiesse cannot be reversed.  Proceed with caution but if you did decide to proceed we would not recommend more than 1 syringe to start.

Foreheads are different in everyone, so the amount of Radiesse needed to augment a forehead would not be the same for each patient.  I would say it is possible that 1 syringe would be enough in some people, while it it possible that 2 or more syringes would be needed for others.  

I should take 1-2 syringes of Radiesse for the forehead. It should be done deeply, along the periosteum, with cannulas. This is a high risk area and much be performed by a very experienced injector. Agree that it is better than fat for this area.
